Cathy is Back!

 

Cathy began her Egyptian dance training with Denise Enan, world-renowned dance master, in 1977. She went on to perform professionally as a soloist for many years in the Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto areas and worked with many popular Arabic musicians and singers of the '70's and '80's.

She was a founding member of the Egyptian Enan Folkloric Troupe and the Lebanese dance troupe, Banaat Sahara, in Ottawa before moving to Lebanon for seven years, where she had the opportunity to absorb the language and culture and explore the music and dance. Since her return to Canada she has been performing and teaching both Egyptian and Lebanese dance styles, and rejoined the Enan Troupe 2008 after a long absence. She has more than 35 years of performance and teaching experience.

"I love this dance in all of its authentic forms, and have tried very hard to promote teaching standards in the Ottawa area. I encourage my students to have fun and be expressive while staying loyal to its cultural roots."

Cathy will begin teaching at Duniya Studio in February. For more details go to www.DuniyaStudio.com

Cathy is also offering private and semi-private lessons in her private studio. Contact her at cathy@orientaldance.ca or call 613-816-5401. Follow her on LinkedIn (must be a LinkedIn member).

Hypnosis for women

Judy White MacDonald...Nursing Consultant, Professional Coach, Clinical Hypnotist

All aspects of our lives add to the definition of who we are as women, but the person ‘at the core' is the most important one. Connection with this ‘real' self identity is necessary for us to answer all the important questions in our lives and to find that often elusive joy, happiness, success, peace and contentment.

As women, so many of us have been trained to put the needs of others first. We so often don't even understand what our needs are, or what to do about them. Hypnosis allows us to relax and allow the subconscious mind to reveal truths and strengths which might never have come to light otherwise. There are many ways in which hypnosis can be helpful to women. Please connect to: http://www.timeforachange.ca/womenspage.htm and learn what hypnosis can do for you!

Orleans Office; everyone welcome!
